The first time I ever made this recipe I did it by the book. Turned out great. Since I have made it a bunch of times always mixing things up. Tonight I put cooked lean ground hamburger (seasoned with paprika, chili seas., celery salt, minced garlic and pepper) in with the stuffing mix. Makes the batch of mix larger so you have to compensate the amount of noodles you use. I LOVE the fact I don't have to precook the noodles..3 boys plus the big one and I all really enjoy this special recipe. Thank you for adding it.

This recipe is very delicious. We followed the recipe exactly except no parsley and added some seasoned ground beef on top. We cooked 1 pound of ground beef and then added it on top during the last 5 minutes of baking time. It came out delicious!

Made this for a family dinner tonight and everyone enjoyed it! It came together very fast, and it was much easier stuffing the uncooked noodles. I made a few small changes after reading the comments (sauteed onions and minced garlic, used basil instead of parsley). Would definitely make again.

I used this recipe as a base for Swiss Chard and Cottage Cheese Manicotti. Quite tasty.

It was my first time making this recipe and it turned out excellent! The only midifications I made were, I boiled the pasta first, which reduced the cooking time in the oven and I used 1 can of tomato sauce instead of 2. Perfect recipe for a beginner ;)

This was very good and super easy. I was sceptical about not cooking the pasta first but I gave it a try. It really does work! Rinse out the spaghetti jars with water and use that water in the recipe. Waste not want not!

This recipe is definitely a keeper. I have made both manicotti and stuffed shells before but always precooked the noodles before stuffing. It is so much easier to stuff the manicotti tube when it's uncooked! I did make a few modifications inspired by other reviews: substituted 2 tsp. dry basil for the 2 tsp. parsley in the cheese filling, added 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, and used about 8 ounces fresh spinach instead of frozen. I also omitted the onions in the filling because I used my homemade sauce which has onions in it already. I also used less sauce - I measured 4 cups of my sauce and added 1 cup of water and thought that this amount was plenty of sauce. But because of using less sauce, the baking time needed to be about 60 minutes in my oven to ensure the noodles cooked fully. My 18-month-old loved this and even ate nearly as much as I did!

This was fantastic. I borrowed a couple other posters' ideas and added a generous scoop of pesto and garlic to the cheese mixture and spooned a little alfredo on the top as I was serving. Even my meat eating boys didn't miss the meat in this dish. Delicious.

This manicotti was really good - came just short of being great. I thought it was too heavy on the onions - I will reduce or eliminate the onions next time. The noodles can be hard to stuff. I tried cutting a ziplock to create a makeshift pastry filler, but ultimately found it was easiest to use my hands.

4 1/2 stars actually. Seems weird adding water to the sauce but it does bake out and doesn't ruin the sauce. I made the stuffing of the manicotti super easy by using a Wilson cupcake decorator. I seasoned the spinach with salt and garlic powder prior to adding to the cheese mix. Spinach can be very bland if it is not seasoned correctly. Needed to bake 60 minutes. I made a double batch and froze for next time. Even the kids enjoyed.

The filling is absolutely wonderful. I only had a partial package of Manicotti so after filling those I placed shell pasta next to them topped the shells with the rest of the filling and added the sauce and cheese as directed and it turned out great. Delicious!!!

Yummy. The second time I made it, I didn't have mozzarella or parmesan. I used 2 cups shredded cheddar, 2 cloves garlic (minced & sauted first), and basil rather than parsley, and a dash extra pepper. It tasted great also. Alot depends on the spaghetti sauce also. If you use cheddar, try to stay away from a salty sauce. Taste the sauce before adding to see if you like it. You can always fix the sauce to suit your tastes before adding it.

I was sorely disappointed after trying this recipe. The filling itself is tasty enough, but my manicotti pasta did not cook properly in the sauce. The pasta was gummy and mushy. I was so sad! I may use the filling again, but next time I will cook the pasta separately! Oh well, you live, you learn!

My friend first made this dish and I was in love with it. She added turkey sausage to the spaghetti sauce and substituted onion powder for the real onions. Easy to make and everyone at home craves it!

Fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly, except it took an additional 15 minutes in the oven. My wife orders manicotti quite often when we are out. She said this is the best she's ever had. We also made alfredo sauce (from this site) to go over the manicotti on the plate. We will make often!!!

This was really good! I did not use water, and it really doesn't need it. That being said, it results in a thicker sauce and requires a longer cooking time, I cooked mine about an hour (half hour covered, the other half uncovered). I used chopped garlic, added oregano and covered the top with about a cup of shredded mozzarella. Even my 3 year old ate it!
